The top 3 shows to binge on Apple TV this weekend, January 30–February 1, 2026, include an epic adventure series, a trending dramedy, and an Emmy winner featuring the late Catherine O'Hara.
While top trending series like Hijack season 2 and Tehran season 3 continue to dominate global charts, these elite series are also great choices to binge-watch over the course of one weekend, all streaming exclusively on Apple TV.
The Studio
The Studio is one of the most celebrated Apple TV original series ever made, and now it will also mark Catherine O'Hara's last role in a television series. O'Hara was set to reprise her role as Hollywood producer Patty Leigh, who is a mentor to Seth Rogen's studio head protagonist, Matt Remick.
O'Hara was nominated for two Emmys in 2025, one for Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for The Studio, and the other for Guest Actress in a Drama Series for HBO's The Last of Us. The Studio is a great way to celebrate the life and career of O'Hara on Apple TV this weekend.
Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters was released back in 2023 and still remains one of the very best action-adventure series on Apple TV. Starring Emmy winner Anna Sawai and Hollywood father-son duo Kurt and Wyatt Russell, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters consists of 10 episodes that feel like a movie theater blockbuster.
Taking place after the events of the 2014 movie Godzilla, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters earned an 87% Rotten Tomatoes score and will return with its season 2 premiere on February 27. Now is the perfect time to check out this epic series ahead of its long-awaited return next month.
Shrinking
Shrinking season 3 premiered on Wednesday, January 28, and introduced series newcomer Michael J. Fox to the Emmy-winning ensemble cast. Led by Jason Segel, Jessica Williams, and Harrison Ford, Shrinking blends lighthearted comedy and gut-punching drama to create a comforting all-around viewing experience.
Often referred to as a Ted Lasso replacement, since it was co-created by Brett Goldstein and Bill Lawrence, Shrinking is a winner because of its outstanding cast and the earnest performances given across the board. Most of the main cast play a group of wholesome therapists who are also trying to keep everything together in their own lives. Whether you're two seasons or just one episode behind, Shrinking is by far the best new show to watch on Apple TV this weekend.
